“Groundhog Day” (1993) – Bill Murray relives a blustery cold day over and over again. Hopefully, that won’t be the case for Jerseyans in February.

“Happy Feet” (2006) – A penguin tap-dances on ice. Not recommended for humans.

“The Ice Storm” (1997) – Bleak weather is a metaphor for angst and alienation in this tale of a dysfunctional family’s ill-fated Thanksgiving gathering.

“McCabe & Mrs. Miller” (1971) – A revisionist western set in a cold, muddy town. Director, Robert Altman and star, Warren Beatty upend gunfighter clichés. Instead of ending the movie with a shootout under the blazing desert sun, the showdown takes place during a blizzard.

“My Winnipeg” (2007) – Canadian iconoclast, Guy Maddin creates a surreal feature-length tourism commercial for his hometown, Winnipeg, the coldest large city in North America and, as he notes, “the sleepwalking capital of the world.” Warning: this film contains full frontal nudity and frozen horse heads.

“The Shining” (1980) – Here’s Johnny! A joyous winter frolic that will leave you with a smile on your face, a song in your heart and a spring in your step.
